Over the past decade YG has maintained a strong presence as a top-tier Compton rapper . While he may not have dropped any huge selling chart toppers, he’s always put solid numbers with every release.
As one of the best rappers of the 2010s , YG has always been a reliable artist ever since his incredible debut, My Krazy Life , which was the flipside to the coin that was Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, m.A.A.d City . Over the next few years, the Compton rapper has been releasing a string of albums that have made an impact every time he dropped.
